Modi Arrives in Muscat, Aims to Strengthen India-Oman Ties
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lands in Muscat for a two-day visit to advance a comprehensive economic partnership and broaden strategic cooperation with Oman.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Muscat for a two-day visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and pushing a comprehensive economic partnership that could boost trade and investment between India and Oman.
At the heart of the talks is a comprehensive economic partnership agreement designed to deepen trade, investment, and people-to-people links, signaling India’s push to diversify its economic and strategic footing in the Gulf.
Officials say discussions will map out stronger cooperation in energy, defence, and culture, including potential collaboration on energy security, maritime security, and cultural exchanges that connect Indian and Omani communities.
Modi was welcomed by senior Omani officials at the airport and is expected to meet with the Sultan Haitham bin Tariq to review the Strategic Partnership and explore avenues to expand commercial ties.
The visit follows Modi’s recent stops in Jordan and Ethiopia as part of a broader outreach. The Muscat leg signals both nations’ intent to deepen economic and strategic ties in a dynamic regional landscape, with observers noting potential benefits for businesses and energy security alike.
